Gift Card Scam

Not sure if anyone posted this already, but my hospital security department sent out an email today warning about this.

Apparantly there are some scam artists who are writing down the #s from those gift cards that are sold at counters. Then they call a few days later to find out how much is on it and shop online with the # once they find out its been activated.

They recommended only buying gift cards from behind the counter.

Yes, I got an e-mail about this last week. I think of it everytime I am in a store and see the gc's displayed.
